Congregation Beth Jacob was incorporated in 1930, in Menlo Park, Calif., as a cooperative synagogue. It moved to new locations
in 1933 and 1953. The building was destroyed by arson, in 1979, and it was rebuilt and rededicated in 1981. The costs for
the new building were raised, in part, by the sale of "mitzvah" lamps that were created by Norma Lee Beirne and with the cooperation
of San Mateo's Temple Beth El.
Materials in English.
Objects (four mitzvah lamps) transferred to The Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life, University of California, Berkeley.
